Lost & found missing persons in Bellingham

Found missing teen near Fairhaven Park

I found a missing teen this afternoon around 2:15pm near the fountain by the Whatcom Museum parking lot in the Fairhaven area of Bellingham. He is about 5 foot 7 inches tall, sandy hair, wearing a red hoodie, navy jeans, and white sneakers. He has a black backpack with a blue enamel star pin on the strap and a silver dog tag peeking out. There is a small scar above his left eyebrow. He seemed overwhelmed and asked me to help him get in touch with his family. If you recognize this description or know where he belongs, email me at [email protected] so I can help reunite him with his guardians.
